Undervalued with adequate balance sheet

NXR is financially robust, with ample cash on hand and short-term investments to meet upcoming liabilities. This indicates that NXR has sufficient cash flows and proper cash management in place, which is an important determinant of the company’s health. NXR appears to have made good use of debt, producing operating cash levels of 0.24x total debt in the prior year. This is a strong indication that debt is reasonably met with cash generated. NXR is currently trading below its true value, which means the market is undervaluing the company’s expected cash flow going forward. Investors have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains, if NXR’s projected earnings trajectory does follow analyst consensus growth, which determines my intrinsic value of the company.
